“Survivor: No Coronavirus drama this season!”

ETA: Geez . . . I can’t joke about Yul bringing the second-hand sadness.

Interesting segment with Yul talking about Jonathan Penner. Seeing as Penner is one of my favourites, I'm not mad at this. Plus, I didn't know the details about his wife.

[LadyChatts]

This is sad about Jonathan's wife.  I forgot she had ALS.  I'm glad that they showed this, since Jonathan is a well known player.

BTW, Yul has not changed since Cook Islands.

[Daisy]

Poor Stacy. That's devastating. 

[Lantern7]

“You down with DYB?” “YEAH, YOU KNOW ME!!!”

[Lady Calypso]

Rob's look when he saw Tyson was gone was a total "Holy shit, us old schoolers are being picked off."

[Lamb18]

Hello Nick!

That is sad about Jonathan's wife. I watched Cook Islands recently and thought about her disease during the loved ones visit.

[LadyChatts]

Also, I thought it was funny that Nick said he was fine with Tyson going-and now says he wants to maybe work with the guy since he gave him his fire token.

Actually, I don't think the tribe swap worked out too terrible for Rob during Marquesas.

New blue tribe: Michele, Wendell, Yul, Parvati, Nick

[Daisy]

And the 2nd time you got swapped you broke Lex's mind, Rob.

Wait. 3 tribes? ewwwwww. 

[vb68]

That's horrible! I had no idea about Jonathan's wife.

Also, Yul got a great edit there.

[Lady Calypso]

I like new Sele tribe. 

[truthaboutluv]

Aww Nick got stuck with his crush, Parvati.

[wallflower75]

slightly late to this week's party...and damn.  I didn't know about Penner's wife.  😞

I can only hope that a tribe swap goes against Rob again...

[LadyChatts]

Red: Jeremy, Denise, Kim, Tony, and Sandra (Kim doesn't look very happy) 

Green: Adam, Sophie, Rob, Ben, Sarah

[Lady Calypso]

Jeff, I don't think we need to hear from Sandra again. I would have been fine hearing from anyone else.

[Lantern7]

“You’ve been through a lot of switches.”

Jeff? Sandra has only been through one.

[vb68]

I had no idea Michelle and Wendell dated!

On first glance I think they are the strongest.  I think new Dakal is the weakest.  

And Adam isn't happy about the tribe because he wound up with two people that he burned bridges with.  If only it was catastrophic for his game.

[Daisy]

Adam. how hard could this be.
Go to Sarah and go "Look. let's vote out rob."
Sarah will be all "Cool."

poof. 

not that devastating you dumbo. 

[Lantern7]

Geez . . . poor Stacy. No one deserves that.

 

[LadyChatts]

Oh, they just showed Jonathan and his wife.  That is so sad.  I'm glad they are giving that a plug.

I'm not sure why because this could actually help her. She has no reason to be loyal to Tony and  Sandra and instead could work with Jeremy and Denise to get out Sandra or Tony, both huge threats.

[Lamb18]

Adam, as he narrates, carefully sounds out each word.

Yes but this is Adam who is incapable of making anything simple and whose whole game is built around over complicating shit. Which always succeeds in making people feel like they can't trust him.

Any anime fans? I’m hoping that Yara goes haywire, so I can refer to them as “the Yare Yare Daze tribe.”

I need a life. Maybe a girlfriend. Any volunteers? 🤞🤞

[cleo]

Did it just dawn on Michele that Wendell is there or did she think she could avoid him for 40 days?

Looking forward to her exit.

[vb68]

Can't wait to see Yul and Parvati interact!

Friends or foe??

[LadyChatts]

Jeremy is definitely impressed with his new crib.  He compares himself and Denise to George and Weezy.

Jeremy's digging for info, and Kim isn't really holding back.

[vb68]

LOL at Denise as Weezie!

[Lady Calypso]

Parvati will probably make him a friend because she knows she is on the bottom. 

But the question is if Yul buys it. And it also is unclear if Parvati decides to move the target on her onto Yul (she might).

[Lantern7]

Holy crap, that’s a huge spider.

[LadyChatts]

Since I like Sandra and Tony, Kim teaming up with Jeremy and Denise isn't good for me.  I'd rather Denise and Kim go.

[Lamb18]

Like Jeremy's George and Weezy comparison.

[PaperTree]

Smooth move, Jeremy.

[CletusMusashi]

Lion schmion. Tony has hyena written all over him.

[Lamb18]

Denise thrives when she is on the bottom.

[Lady Calypso]

Kim suddenly improved her position in the game to being the swing vote. Nice! 

[Daisy]

I don't know how this happened but i am really, really loving Tony. 
words i never thought i'd say ever in life. 

[LadyChatts]

I really hate when there's three tribes, and we sort of have a fourth if you count EOE.  

Kim, anytime anyone thinks they are in a good spot because they are in the middle, it usually doesn't go so well.

[Lantern7]

Anyone thinking EoE might have the night off?

Well...maybe.  A lot of swing votes have found themselves being the one going home...

[LadyChatts]

So your telling me Rob built that magnificent mansion last season, but this is what he came up with this season?

And Nick reveals to Parvati she was his high school crush.  Parvati didn't waste anytime trying to get in the good graces of Yul and Nick.

And Michele and Wendell didn't end on good terms, according to Parv.

Seriously. i think i can count on one hand how many times the swing vote actually had power. like come on, people. When in Doubt think of Christy-Dolly. 
 

snorts Parv. i love you.

I had posted on this forum months ago- there was a big write up on them in New York magazine and it was heartbreaking in its detail. Prayers to them both 🙏🏽. I ❤️Yul.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh boy. I can already feel the tension between Wendell and Michele.

On another note, I'm glad to hear from Wendell, someone whose season I've never watched so this is my first intro to him!

[Lamb18]

Wendell and Michele look at each other all sparkly eyed.

Just call this tribe the Awkward tribe.

[Daisy]

Okay this is going o be so awkward. 

[LadyChatts]

If Michele was trying to flirt with Wendell, I don't think she was doing a very good job.

I guess she's a woman scorned?  After listening to her and Parvati, now I remember why I don't like her.
